Sex Positions for Every Mood

You already tailor your sex positions to hit your pleasure spots, but you can crank up the heat even more by matching your moves to your mood. Use these emotion-driven pairings to go from "oh" to "ooooh."

Try: The Soft Rock
Here's Why: You and your man are face-to-face for the whole experience.
Erotic Instructions: For this twist on the typical missionary position, instead of having your man rest on his elbows, ask him to slide two to four inches forward. Have him place his arms on either side of your shoulders, letting his body fall flat against yours. With your legs touching his, push your pelvis up about two inches. Your man should push down gently, providing a little counter-resistance. Instead of the usual in-and-out of thrusting, rock up and down.

Horny

Try: Time Bomb
Here's Why: You're in the driver's seat so you control the pace.
Erotic Instructions: Have him sit down in a low chair with his legs relaxed. Facing him, straddle him with your feet on the floor, slowly lowering yourself onto his erection with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Start by letting just the tip of his penis enter you, then lower yourself inch by inch until you're allowing him full entry by bearing all the way down on his thighs.

Athletic

Try: Pleasure Pick-Me-Up
Here's Why: Your balancing skills and thigh muscles get a workout with this move.
Erotic Instructions: Standing with his back against the edge of the bed (or even the washer or dryer), your stud picks you up with his hands cradling your bottom and the backs of your thighs. Wrap your legs around his waist (place your feet on the bed for support) and your arms around his neck and shoulders. As his penis enters you, you hang suspended from him, bouncing up and down with the help of his arms.

Playful

Try: The Head Game
Here's Why: You get to practice your yoga moves while getting down and dirty.
Erotic Instructions: Start by lying flat on the ground face up. With your hands supporting your lower back, lift your legs and backside up so they're as perpendicular to the ground as you can get them. Have your man kneel before you, grab your ankles, and bring his knees to your shoulders. Then take his hands and ask him to hold your hips. Hold his thighs for leverage and adjust so your genitals can join for some upside-down action.

Experimental

Try: The Pinwheel
Here's Why: It takes a little adjusting to get into position, but once you do…wowzer.
Erotic Instructions: You and your partner lie on your sides facing the same direction. First, you lower your crotch onto his, wrapping your legs around either side of his torso. Your arms should be stretched out behind you supporting your weight. He then encircles your waist with his legs and grips your upper thighs and thrusts gently.

Rushed

Try: Mover and Shaker
Here's Why: This move is guaranteed to get you—and your guy—off quickly.
Erotic Instructions: Lie facedown on top of a washing machine, with your feet flat on the floor. Have your guy stand facing your butt, between your legs. Once you're going at it, turn on the machine. Have him lean forward so that his thighs are pressed against you. The vibrations will rock through his entire body.

Sexy

Try: The Couch Canoodle
Here's Why: Feel hot as hell? This position puts your whole bod on display.
Erotic Instructions: Have your partner sit back on a couch. Straddle his lap with your legs splayed apart and your knees bent up against his chest. Slowly lean back so you're almost upside down with your arms stretched behind you to support your weight and maintain your balance. Thrust back and forth against him, opening and closing your legs.

Mellow

Try: Saucy Spoons
Here's Why: This position is perfect for when you just want to go slow.
Erotic Instructions: Lie on your sides with him behind you so you're both facing the same direction. Push your butt toward him as he enters you. Put your hand on his and show him how you want your clitoris to be touched. Have him alternate between there and your breasts.

Naughty

Try: Bucking Bronco
Here's Why: This angle is perfect for G-spot stimulation—and leaves your hands free to wander.
Erotic Instructions: He lies flat on his back with his knees bent and legs spread apart. Facing him, get on top and slowly lower yourself onto his shaft, keeping your knees bent and your legs outside his arms. Then lean back and support yourself on your palms as he thrusts his hips up and down.

Tired

Try: The Dirty Dangle
Here's Why: He does all the work, so you can lay back and enjoy the ride.
Erotic Instructions: This is the opposite of The Supernova: Begin by lying on your back at the foot end of the bed. Have him mount you missionary style and when you're both close to climax, inch toward the edge of the bed until your head, shoulders, and arms hang backward over the side. Then tell him to keep on thrusting.
